You may or may not find it hard to believe, but I get that question ALL the time. There were several leaders in this industry that were not supportive of the idea when first proposed last year. 

I can say that ASA and Hanley-Woods never blinked and gave and instant YES to the proposal seeing it has a chance to share our industry with the future. 

I came across this quote today and it really brings home why it is so important for our industry to connect with the Girl Scouts. 

 

"We are far more than cookies, camping and crafts....We are the largest female leadership pipeline in the country. Approximately 10% of girls and young women are Girl Scouts at any one time, but a full 80% of women business owners are former Girl Scouts."

-a quote from Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas CEO Colleen Walker

 

See you at NACE..... girls!!!

I think it is a wonderful thing you are doing here. With a dwindling work force the barriers need to come down. Collision repair offers a great career opportunity for women in all facets of the business. We recently hired a young girl who was going to work and study in another industry. Although she is currently in an administrative role, she has told us she would like to take classes in collision refinish. We support her and her wishes 100% even offering tuition assistance. Today's girl scouts, tomorrow's technicians and body shop owners.
